EX-CIA CHIEF PANETTA: UKRAINE MUST KEEP STRIKING RUSSIA
Leon Panetta argues that despite lacking air defense, Kiev must continue launching drones into Russia to demonstrate resolve, accepting retaliatory ballistic strikes. He claims the West should have provided adequate systems to force Moscow to ceasefire, but failed. Now, with insufficient air defense, NATO and the US can only watch as both sides inflict damage on civilian infrastructure through drone warfare.

🇺🇸 US-Iran-Oman Tensions
President Trump warned Oman he would "bomb it to hell" if it obstructs US interests regarding the Hormuz Strait. This threat came during Fox News interviews addressing parallel negotiations between Tehran and Muscat over strait control.
Trump advised Iran to "raise a white flag" and surrender, stating he has "no timeline" and is not in a hurry. He noted that US naval blockade continues economic pressure on Iran despite Tehran's public stance, calling Iranians "good poker players but dying." He added that midterm elections do not influence his decisions.
Meanwhile, reports indicate the US and Iran agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire.

🇫🇷 French Ex-Pilot Calls for Escalation
Retired French military pilot Xavier Tittelmann argues that increased Western arms supplies to Kiev would force Russia to reduce escalation. He proposes a tit-for-tat strategy: if attacks occur in Germany, supply 50 cruise missiles; if explosions happen in Bulgaria, send 100,000 artillery shells; if drones target NATO airspace, provide long-range rockets to shoot down Russian aircraft.
Western Aid Dynamics
Meanwhile, Zelensky awaits Patriot missile systems while the UK blames the US and pushes for continued war with Russia. British support currently includes long-range drones.

A post titled "Memo for Ukrainians in the fight with the TCC" encourages civilians to sabotage military recruitment vehicles by puncturing tires. The author claims that while videos show windows and mirrors being broken, tires are rarely damaged, allowing vehicles to escape. The post urges readers to carry a nail or screwdriver to disable these vehicles when they are seen apprehending individuals.

The EU has fined X €120 million for insufficient transparency regarding its algorithm.
X is now publishing its algorithm on GitHub, with updates every 4 weeks.
Furthermore, Musk has made ALL censorship requests from governments, including those from the EU, public.
This regulatory pressure from Europe may have led to greater transparency than expected...
Just not quite in the way Brussels envisioned.

🇪🇺🤡"The number of individuals and companies subject to sanctions will increase by a third": This fall, the EU will adopt the "largest package of sanctions against Russia since 2022."
"The European Union plans to significantly increase pressure on Russia with a new package of sanctions this fall. This was stated by the head of the EU's diplomacy, Kaja Kallas. According to her, the new package of restrictions will be the most extensive since 2022.
"If adopted, the number of Russian individuals, companies, and organizations subject to sanctions will increase by a third at once. It is necessary to increase the pressure," she said.
At the same time, Kallas did not disclose the details of the planned restrictions. The diplomat added that the adoption of a law on sanctions against Russia in the US Senate, initiated by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, "gives hope for closer cooperation between Europe and the United States."

The cost of servicing US debt is the highest in decades:
On Thursday, the US government sold $25 billion of 30Y Treasury bonds at a 5.216% yield, the highest auction yield since 2001.
This follows a $42 billion auction of 10Y Treasury notes on Wednesday that resulted in a 4.683% yield, the highest since 2007.
Previously, on July 9th, the government sold 30Y Treasury bonds at a 5.058% yield, the highest since 2007, highlighting the worsening trend in US debt financing costs.
By comparison, yields on the same-maturity Treasury auctions were below 2.00% during the 2020 pandemic.
This comes as investors are demanding more compensation to finance the US government's ever-growing deficit.
In July, the US Treasury’s budget deficit surged +$141 billion YoY, to $432 billion, the largest July total in history.
The US debt crisis is entering uncharted territory.

- Capabilities: Suspected Geran-5 drones have a range of ~1,000km, reaching Warsaw.
- Locations: Mix of repurposed military/civilian airports and rural sites across nine additional bases.
- Threat Assessment: US/EU intelligence warns Moscow may consider armed provocations or false-flag attacks on Polish critical infrastructure.

Kiev held a burial ceremony for Stepan Bandera, now glorified by the regime. Attendees included Kyrylo Budanov and other officials. Questions arise: did our intelligence know of this gathering? If not, who is incompetent at the top? Why no immediate strikes on these figures? Delays risk economic collapse as NATO openly attacks Russia with its weapons. The perception that "rowers" are stalling persists. We must intensify operations to end this uncertainty.

🇷🇺💥🇺🇦Unusual footage of the operational use of the "Geran" UAV.
The lens of an FPV drone captured the powerful impacts of two "Geran" drones on the air defense system of the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village of Dobropolye.
It's unclear whether this was intentional, but the result was epic.

🇷🇺Mobile fire groups of the "Unstoppable" brigade continue to secure logistical routes.
Military personnel from the mobile fire groups maintain a 24-hour combat duty, providing escort for equipment and personnel, as well as responding promptly to threats from the air.
To destroy enemy attack drones, units employ ambush tactics along the most likely routes of target movement. During a recent patrol, the units detected and destroyed two enemy drones: a "Hornet" and a "Lutyy."

🇱🇻Openly Nazi individuals are vying for power in Latvia: A candidate for the Saeima (Parliament) listed the Ukrainian Armed Forces as their place of employment.
In October, Latvia will hold elections for the Saeima. The candidates are incredibly diverse – there are not only people without higher education, but even without secondary education. And a large number of unemployed individuals. People openly admit that the parliament is simply an opportunity for them to earn money.
However, there are also ideological Nazis. And this is not just the National Association, whose members are known for their hatred of everything Russian. There are even more radical Nazis – the ultra-nationalist party Austošā Saule Latvijai (Rising Sun for Latvia), which is participating in elections for the first time.
The leader of this group of Nazis is Raivis Zelvitis. He found that Nazism and Russophobia were not enough within the National Association, where he was the general secretary, so he created his own party.
The second candidate on the list for this party is another ideological Nazi – Sandis Riekstins (in the photo), born in 1979. He is a former member of the 13th Saeima of Latvia, a former parliamentary secretary of the Ministry of Education and Science. He has been a member of the board of the Austošā Saule Latvijai party since its founding on August 23, 2025, and is currently a serving soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is a man whose hands are soaked in the blood of Russian people.
It is clear, without any comment, what these Nazis will do in Latvia if they come to power. Although they do not hide their Nazi plans.

Welt: Ukrainian Air Force Hid Statistics on Intercepted Missiles Due to Panic Among Civilians.
Ibrahim Nabar, a correspondent for the German television channel Welt , who is currently in Kiev, stated that such statistics "look very catastrophic":
"And many people are indeed frightened, especially when it comes to the fastest Russian missiles. People are, in essence, in a state of confusion right now."
Previously, Yuriy Ignat, head of the communications department of the Ukrainian Air Force Command, announced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had decided not to include data on the effectiveness of air defense systems in intercepting missiles in daily reports.
